Here are two ways you can join in with Advent 2022 - a season of preparing our hearts for Christmas

Advent window displays

Each day during Advent, a new window display will be revealed in the Shirley area. Why not go and find them each day as part of your daily exercise - or to help tire out overly-excited children! 

It's best done using this google maps link on your phone. Or you can download the plan as a pdf. 

​There will also be a new box appearing in the window at our church office - 133 Church Street - where you can pick up an advent pack for use at home, too. 

Advent videos

The coming of Jesus was the fulfilment of a great plan thousands of years in the making. Seeing how Jesus fulfilled lots of stories from the Old Testament can increase our appreciation of what he's done for us! 

Each day in advent, we invite you to watch a short video of a story from before Jesus was born - each pointing forward to Jesus in different ways. There's a reflection question for you to use, too. Click on each day's link below.
